safety-wise. I currently have Avon Tech M550 A/S

not too bad at first, but as they aged got rather noisy and even with some
tread left aren’t the best in all-weather. I heard about the same of

I did not
like the Yokahama DB series, and Pirelli P6’s just seem kind of hard and
boring, and I
hate Dunlop GT Qualifiers.. So even though there seem to be some pretty
good rubber
for the money in the$ 80-100 range, it would be nice to get the best I can.
So which are best?
